Did Kenpo today. Was able to burn just over 1000 calories (according to my HR monitor) by adding a little more intensity to all of the moves. Through many of the arm sequence, I increased my pace over what was on the DVD to keep my heart rate up. When it got to the start blocks, I just did jumping jacks as the block sequence is just WAY too slow. I have improved on balance. I can do reverse kicks reasonably well even when I'm exhausted.
Today I felt wasted for some reason. Not sure if it is over training or what. I checked my weight this morning and I was at 161...too low. I've lost 5-6 pounds in the last three weeks. I really have mixed feelings about this. I didn't start P90X to lose weight, but I did want to lose a tiny tire I have around my waist. I actually wanted to build muscle. So I'm not sure how I feel about losing any weight. Can I really gain any muscle and lose that small amount of fat at the same time? That was the question I entered into P90X with. So far, the changes I've seen in my body are VERY subtle...slight increases in definition in my abs is the main thing. Starting the second week, I actually paid attention to my diet...increasing protein substantially while trying to give up empty calories like Coke and snacks. I still thought I was eating plenty. But maybe I'm not eating enough and that is why I'm losing weight and feeling wasted. Today I fell off the wagon though. Seeing the weight loss and feeling tired gave me an excuse to pig out quite a bit and also load up on some Cokes. I'll get back to normal tomorrow.
Tomorrow is Yoga and my attempt to switch up my schedule to do this stuff when I get home from work. We'll see how it goes. Looking forward to Yoga. I love it.
